PSAT Writing and Language Question 654: Answer and Explanation
Question: 654
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. smallest then
- C. smaller than
- D. smaller then
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) "Than" is used for comparisons, while "then" is used as a sequencing term. Eliminate Choices (B) and (D) since this is a comparison. When making comparisons, it is far better to use an -er word, like "smaller," rather than an -est word, like "smallest." Choice (C) is the correct answer.
